Fibre Optic Connector ST Female/Female ShiverPeaks BS08-10220
The ShiverPeaks BS08-10220 ST Female/Female fibre optic connector is designed for bulkhead applications where a secure, panel-mounted connection is required. This connector provides a stable, keyed coupling suited to single-mode and multimode fibre assemblies that use ST-style ferrules. It is intended to simplify installation in racks, panels, or wall plates while maintaining optical alignment and mechanical stability between fibre links.
The bulkhead ST female/female design enables through-panel mating of ST plugs without additional patch cords, reducing cable stress and improving cable management. The connector offers a standardized bayonet coupling for easy insertion and removal, and its metal housing provides mechanical durability and precise alignment of the ferrules. Compatibility with common ST plugs ensures interoperability in mixed equipment environments.
Install the connector into the panel or bulkhead cutout and secure it according to the enclosure’s mounting method, ensuring the connector is properly oriented. Insert ST fibre plugs into each side until the bayonet locks; verify visual alignment and that the connectors seat fully. For maintenance, disconnect by twisting the plug and pulling straight out to avoid damaging ferrules. Always follow standard fibre handling procedures such as keeping endfaces clean, avoiding excessive bending of fibres near the connector, and using dust caps when ports are unused.
Use a fibre inspection scope or lint-free cleaning tools to inspect and clean connector endfaces before mating. Select cable and connector polishing grades compatible with your fibre type and operating wavelengths. For permanent panel installations, periodically verify connections for insertion loss and physical security to maintain reliable optical performance.
